Editing a Top-Level Slot

You can edit the top-level properties of a slot directly from the Slots
Tab or by using the top-level View
button at the Template Slots pane. Editing
at the top-level changes the definition of the slot. The changes appear
everywhere the slot occurs, including the Slots Tab
and all the classes that reference the slot.
To edit the top-level properties of a slot from the Slots
Tab:
- Select the slot you wish to edit in
the Slot pane of the Slots Tab.
- Click the View
slot button. This opens the Slot Form
for the selected slot.
To edit the top-level properties of a slot from the Template Slots pane
in the Classes Tab:
- Select a class in the Class
Relationship pane in the Classes tab.
- Select the slot you wish to edit in the Template Slots pane.
- Click the View Top-Level Slot
Template Slot
button at the upper right of the template Template Slots pane
or double-click the slot and make sure View top-level slot is selected
in the Select Slot View dialog box, then click OK.
This opens the Slot Form
for the selected slot. Note that there may be restrictions on the edits that
can be performed on an inherited slot.
You can also override the slot properties at a class and all of its
subclasses without changing the top-level slot. See Overriding Slot
Properties at a Class for more information.
